Abstract
The essay explores the important relationship between Mikhail Bakhtin's early philosophical thought and one of its major sources, Max Scheler's phenomenology of emotional life. The two mutually illuminating concepts of active empathy - Bakhtin's vzhivanie and Scheler's Mitgefühl - are examined in the context of the authors' distinctly religious worldviews, an aspect that remains largely ignored in comparative scholarship. Analysis centres on the notion of Christian Incarnation as a model act and a prototype of active empathy in both Bakhtin and Scheler.
